Chapter 5 - Abandoned Village - Part 5

Sure! Here's the revised version:

Let's see, this man is not only handsome but also charismatic. He's wearing a very ordinary short-sleeved shirt, with just two buttons unbuttoned, subtly hinting at his charm without being overly revealing.

At first sight, you would want to take a pair of scissors and snip his clothes into shreds.

Baihe stared at him for a good half-minute before handing him a cup of instant noodles. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." He seemed accustomed to this kind of gaze and wasn't angered by her rudeness. The key is, his voice was so deep and magnetic, it sent shivers down her spine.

With the noodles ready, the two of them walked towards the train carriage, one in front and one behind. The man said, "Young lady, it would be better for you to change your clothes when taking this kind of train."

Baihe didn't think there was anything wrong with her attire. She wore a small tank top underneath, paired with an irregularly cut cropped t-shirt that revealed her midriff. She also had a short skirt, short boots, and a black lace butterfly leg garter tied around her thigh.

"Is this combination ugly?" Baihe worried whether it was her own sense of aesthetics or if it was just typical of straight men.

"Everyone has the ability to appreciate beauty, but unfortunately, it's not suitable to attract too much attention when going out." Liang Xiao said, "Although it's very beautiful, safety comes first."

In this kind of train where all sorts of people mingled, and with poor management, an overly eye-catching young girl could easily attract the attention of sleazy men.

Baihe covered the lid of the cup of noodles and said casually, "As long as it looks good, it's fine. I know you mean well, but I enjoy dressing up a little more, it makes me happy when I look at myself, and others can also appreciate the beauty. And if someone gets distracted by a girl looking too good and loses their mind... well, I'll teach them how to behave properly." She smiled, "I'll set them straight."

Shallow words carry deep meaning, and Liang Xiao had already been cautioned once, so he wouldn't interfere anymore. "Seems like I meddled too much."

"I like handsomely-dressed men meddling in my affairs." Baihe reached out her hand towards him, "I'm Baihe, how should I address you, sir?"

"Liang Xiao."

"A good name." Liang Xiao, a beautiful night, even his name stirred up romantic feelings.

"You too, I really like the name Baihe."

Baihe shrugged, "You've misunderstood. Baihe isn't a plant, it's an invertebrate that appeared in the Paleozoic era."

Liang Xiao couldn't distinguish between the Cambrian, Cretaceous, and Jurassic periods. "It's from the same era as dinosaurs?"

"The Jurassic period is part of the Mesozoic era. It comes after the Permian and Triassic periods, during which many marine creatures went extinct, including Baihes. Now you can see their fossils, and they actually resemble plants." Baihe was used to popularizing these little tidbits of knowledge using simple and understandable language.
